OUR GUESTS’ WORDS


  • Io e la mia compagna abbiamo deciso di trascorrere una mattina in masseria, provando l’esperienza da casaro presso una masseria a Martina Franca.

    L’esperienza è stata meravigliosa, sia il casaro che il referente di Terra Che Vive ci hanno accompagnato col sorriso in ogni momento, dalla visita della masseria alla lavorazione delle mozzarelle.

    Complimenti davvero, consigliatissimo!

    Beautiful location and accurate explanation about the olive oil production. Rosaria and Giorgio gave us a very warm welcoming and, cherry on top, the olive oil testing was a fun and interesting experience.

    My husband and I had such an enjoyable experience on this tour. We went to a local dairy farm and learned how Mozzarella was made. After, we had lunch at the Masseria. Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, and spoke very clear English. The tour was unique and felt very authentic. Of course the Mozzarella we tried was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend using Terra Che Vive as a means to get to know the Puglia region!

  • We had a wonderful time at the farm. Marco was an excellent guide and explained everything with such energy. The cheese makers showed us a variety of the different ways they make the cheeses. After the tour we had a "sampling" of different cheeses, salamis and homemade wine. It was all so fresh and tasty, we couldn't eat any more. And then they brought out a desert. We didn't eat for rest of the day! I would highly recommend this as a fun and interesting thing to do for kids and adults the same.

    My husband and I really enjoyed the 90 minute olive oil tasting! Our guide was very passionate and provided a lot of information. She also spoke English to accommodate us. The owners were so hospitable and friendly also. Their olive oil is delicious and organic. We bought three bottles!

    Marco and his team provided an invaluable service that left a lasting impression on our family, friends, and children. No detail was overlooked, from the initial booking request, to the moment when the last piece of food was polished off of our plates. Chef Davide, Francesco, Attilio, and Francesca joined our party of 16 for 3 nights, and created some incredible meals that surpassed all of our expectations. Our gathering at the villa in Puglia was a very special one for my husband’s 50th Birthday. We had guests who flew in from all over the world to come celebrate with us, and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Terra che Vive to help us plan this special occasion. The food was not only delicious, but executed perfectly. The staff was simply lovely. Everyone was so friendly and did everything they could to let us have a few stress free fun evenings enjoying each others company. I can’t recommend this service enough.

  • Excellent! We had a wonderful extra virgin olive oil tasting at Savoia - it was a special treat to taste olive oil from the ancient and majestic 800 year old trees we learned so much and the owners Giorgio and Rosaria are special people, keeping this incredible tradition alive so we can all enjoy such an extraordinary product

    Anbefales på det varmeste! Unik opplevelse på en liten gård i nærheten av Locorotondo. Vi lærte å lage pasta (orrechiette, strascinate og cavatelli) av nonna Fransesca. Marco forklarte underveis og supplerte med mye kunnskap om pastalaging, om Puglia generelt, etc. Avsluttet med et deilig måltid med både egenlaget pasta og lokale spesialiteter. Både vi foreldre og de tre tenåringene storkoste seg.
